Pictures of the day: 21 February 2014

Portraits of trained monkeys in Islamabad, Pakistan, who make a living for their owners by performing to the public. For Pakistani's who raise and train the monkeys they are an important source of income in an impoverished country, and they form a strong bond with the animals. The monkeys are usually captured in the wild when they are babies and then trained. A trained monkey can fetch 20,000 to 30,000 rupees (£113 to £170).Picture: MUHAMMED MUHEISEN/AP
